This is why I prefer to shoot the details on a car instead of the whole car. I get shots like this.
Dynamic xenon headlights on a BMW.
This is why I don't usually shoot the whole car, preferring to focus in on the details. The lines, the curves and especially the lights.
I'm not a big BMW fan, but they do make some cool lights.
I have a broken Domiplan that is somehow missing first element. From time to time I attach random pieces of glass to see effects. This time it is a front group from Xenon 50mm f2 lens. Result is soft but I found it attractive enough to share.

S.K. Xenon 50mm f1.8 from Rollei cameras. It was supposed to be a cheaper option to Zeiss Planar but mechanical quality and IQ are exceptional IMHO.

This is a version for Retina cameras but not named Retina-Xenon. It has short MFD of 0.5m compared to 0.9 of more common Retina-Xenon. Obviously it has longer barel but other than that it is the same lens optically.
As all Xenons it is a beautiful and precisely made. It is similar optical design to Biotar so it is not surprise that it swirl in right conditions. But it is also capable of creating very smooth aquarelish bokeh too.
If I do not want to exaggerate a bit bokeh affect, no post processing is really needed. Colors are rich and natural. Here I worked hard to restaure the details and some colours in peony flower. It is almost impossible to get right this kind of composition straight out of camera. Something has to give up. Or flower is burnt or background is too dark. Lot of pushing and pulling is needed to make it right in the post. Xenon will render enough informations in RAW file to make it possible. I did not try to remove artifacts and as you may see there is not much of them
I live near Canal Lachiine. Sometimes we go to the end of it. Mighty river on one side, on the other VIlle de Lachine. I prefer the landscape without foleage. It carries a kind of melancholic feeling that I tried to underline with using some split toning in Darktable.

Xenon 50mm f1.9 bokeh withs some flares. This Xenon has very deep front element retraction. That gives it quite good flare management.
Schneider Kreuznach Xenon 50mm f1.9 DKL short MFD lens, as the all other Xenon lenses I tried is joy to use and it did not hide its double gauss nature. Its 0.6m MFD is still not close enough compared to some other fast fifties but there was only one other Xenon lens that comes closer. For me it is not a big deal as I use helicoid adapters for almost all my vintage lenses.
It is very (vintage) sharp at the center and bokeh is painterly impressionistic even when there is no sunshine or light sources in the background.
No post ptocessing is done other than standard Nikon presset.

Sell one acquire two :) . So I let go few of my lenses I like but do not use that much that is worth keeping them. I replaced them with Diax IIa german camera from 50es. Two lenses came with it. This is one of them. Schneider Kreuznah Xenon 50mm f2. Retina version of this lens is just a hint faster ( f1.9) and is one of my favourite lenses. So, I was curious about differences. It is to early to say anything. First impression.
